Next manager will also be sacked if there's no plan, ruthless selection within the squad and instilling focus on the pitch.

Likewise, but I think there is not even a small chance of this happening. If Ole goes I can only see it being a big name appointment similar to LVG and Mourinho. I have no confidence in the club finding the right replacement.
I don't mind Conte actually, he is proven and his team always looks solid.
Absolutely. Just don't see anyone good enough to leave their current job midseason for us. So Conte with a 2 year deal with an easy out if it doesn't go well is probably the best option.
People throwing around Potter/other names, I think that's something for the offseason. I doubt they leave now.
Really good football manager, they go above us if they win their game in hand.
Now who can that be? Is Zidane honestly that good that he'd make that big of a difference? Genuine question.
The Best Managers available now, Zinedine Zidane and Antonio Conte.
LVG / Jose were better and had plenty of experience but what happened with that approach
I wish we get some one like Nigelsman
didn't relegate them at least
We hired a manager that got relegated. You have to look at context. 15th for Brighton is okay. You also have to look at the quality he has to work with.
Conte with Eddie Howe as part of the coaching staff. Half serious.
Yeah Potter wouldn’t last a year here. The job is just too big for most managers. It has to be a strong, attacking, modern coach with the right amount of experience and success behind him. I can’t think of a single person who qualifies at the moment.
Conte easily but I know our higher ups would hesitate so much till another club comes around to get it.
I remember Luis Enrique always said he'd like to coach in England one day before he took the Spain job.
Erik Ten Hag for me, Ajax play fantastic football and Ajax fans on here will vouch for how good he is.
Ten Haag is a great coach but he’s probably the type that would never work here. The current squad composition is reticent in pressing, and there’s too many other Cruijffian fluffy traits he’d want to bring with him that wouldn’t have him hit the ground running.
Potter looks alright yeah, but the ballgame from an OK Brighton finish to taking over Manchester fecking United is gargantuan. If the response is he can’t be any worse than Ole, eh sure, but let’s try and get it properly right with the replacement.
Flick seems a good bet. He won everything with Bayern, didn’t he?
I think we’d want Zidane, ideally. He’s basically Ole but better.
Conte would bring the most success in my opinion (he’s a domestic monster and I have zero doubt if we backed him we’d finally win a league again) but he veers into football terrorism too much. He’d probably barely play Greenwood and end up with like Dalot and Lingard as his winning wingbacks. He’d be successful, but there’d be too much fan and owner leashing on him — I think back to when Jose wasn’t allowed to sell Martial because it was vetoed by the Glazers personally, that sort of vibe.
Conte isnt the right man, from what I read ZIdane doesnt want to come to ENgland and Potter I like, but feel the job would overwhelm him?
Tat is the problem right now. Our timing for new managers is awful, we should have been all in for Nagelsmann the summer before this in my opinion

Far too early to be having this conversation I think. I now accept Ole is not the man to take the club forward but I'm very confident he will not be sacked anytime soon. Likely to be looking at a candidate next summer, but I fear City will be too.
He may not be tactically astute but he knows how to win and in a good fashion.
Hani Flick the ex Bayern coach, well he seemed to do a good job there but can’t say I know an awful lot about his football, must be a reason he left for the National team but he’s probably a decent enough manager.
Brendan Rodgers please
I wanted Tuchel when he left Dortmund but that ship had sailed, I can’t think of anyone that takes my fancy right now.
Bring in Conte or Zidane. We have such a stacked squad that they have the best chance of winning something with it.
We don't need a rebuild, just good coaching to get the best out of this team. And I think this team is capable of doing way more than what we are showing this season.

Klopp?
I think Conte would certainly have this squad seriously challenging for the title.
With this squad and outlay, I doubt that. This is a level up and has to perform in accordance with that - Ole wouldn't, and shouldn't get set such a low bar with what we have.
Marcelo Bielsa. At least it will be entertaining.
I completely agree.
With 3 x different clubs, he has been in 7 Finals...
and won 7 trophies!
People need to stop the LVG and Mourinho rhetoric. They were both past it by the time they came to United - which is clear as day for anyone to see based on their career since then.
They were both shite experienced managers. Ole is a shit inexperienced manager.
Just get a good manager. Experienced or not.

I agree I don't think the club will push the button, but it is obvious he isn't the one to take it forward. I'd like to think the more the fan base is vocal in their dissatisfaction the quicker a new manager will come in.
I'd go for Conte, you don't need to overcomplicate appointments, as can be seen from Tuchel. Conte is simply the best manager available at present.
We forget, Ole is a PL manager who got relegated and then went back to Molde, it isn't hard to achieve a big upgrade.
Zidane for me.
Get Allardyce in.
That’s the fecking worst thing about how this club operates, they wait until top 4 is mathematically impossible before pulling the trigger and by that time it’s too late to salvage anything. It means you lose the chance to turn things around and turn a potentially shite season into a good/excellent one. Chelsea and Tuchel being the prime example, under Lampard last season things started off terribly and If they’d stuck with him they’d probably have finished the season trophy less and outside the top 4 but instead they acted quickly by replacing him with Tuchel who went on to secure top 4 and win the CL!
Zidane for immediate results.
Potter if you want to build something for the future and not just pretending to do so.
Conte as an alternative for Zidane and Hasenhuttl for Potter.

Zinadine Zidane. Obviously.
This must be a United thing that every time we need something, there seems to be no quality.
We need a CDM? There’s no one available in the market.
RB? No quality in the market.
Coach? They are all at our rivals and we got nothing.
We are always a step behind and this is annoying.

Zidane or Conte are the obvious ones, but it might also be worth trying our luck with Luis Enrique. Spain looked like one of the best coached teams in the Euros and were let done by being profligate (and COVID really hindered their preparations too).
People were raving about Marco Rose a few years ago. What's he been like since at the two Borussias? Only just took over Dortmund, so probably not realistic this season anyway.
Zidane. The team is stacked with talents. Need immediate result, we can talk about building another generation after 4-5 years.
I think Graham Potter is an interesting alternative. Although it’s a risk because the pressure of managing United is intense … can he handle that?
